I will be replacing my MacBook with an iPad. This is a 'kitchen/ livingroom' device that is used for music, general internet news consumption and resolving disagreements. The keyboard dock is perfect. Hopefully the iTunes App for iPad will get re…

Unfortunately for those of us with dead or aging machines the wait is excruciating. (Mine is dead and I am on a loaner.) The aging form factor, video cards and pricing has a lot of people waiting and I will guess chip supply is a potential issue a…

[QUOTE=Karelia;1132516]Um, try a Mac mini with Mac OS X Server installed. There's your compromise, complete with USB and FireWire, as well as Gig-E. Over $500 dollars versus $179, no 802.11n for the wireless backups and more power usage than a Ai…

I think the line-up will be simple when the next Mac Pro comes out and it will look more like the xMac proposed here than the current beast. I had a PowerMac G5 with the current form factor for almost four years (It just expired due to a bad mo…

This discussion has gone from academic to a crisis for me. My three and half year old Dual G5 has died a sudden and untimely death unable to recognize any memory. If I can't get a cost effective repair I will be without a desktop for awhile. I wa…

Lets go out on a limb. The Mac Pro as we know it is dead. It is the next 9600, a collectable with too big a power supply and not green enough. A new smaller case from recyclable aluminum skin and a very efficient power supply will replace it. Th…

Such impatience. When Steve thinks it is time to come out with the xMac he will release it with great fanfare and RDF. It will be the best thing since sliced bread, only an Ive case and Leopard will stand between it and the other boxes on the Best…

The Conroe "headless" Mac is coming. Steve is just trying to figure out how to add enough Apple pixie dust and RDF to make people think that it isn't just another "PC". Remember that there was an iMac that never saw the light of day because it did…
